ELECTRIC SHOCK - DIRECT CONTACT WITH OVERHEAD LINE

A power line crew was installing a new overhead power line off a 4160-volt (phase-to-phase) overhead power line. The employees were going to install jumpers to keep the existing line energized as they installed the new one. One of the power line workers ascended in an aerial lift and, without using rubber insulating gloves, started to connect one of the jumper cables. He received an electric shock, sustained a burn on his right hand, and was knocked unconscious. His coworkers summoned emergency medical services and administered cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. Their rescue efforts went to no avail, however, as the employee was declared dead on arrival at the hospital. He had been electrocuted.
